An additional feather to put in the Eagles’ cap following their win over the Falcons is that Philadelphia beat a relatively healthy team. Atlanta had exactly zero players from their 53-man roster listed on their final injury report.
The Eagles’ Week 2 opponent, the San Francisco 49ers, are very likely better than the Falcons. But they’re also banged up coming off a ‘little too close for comfort’ win over the Detroit Lions.
Speaking to media on Monday afternoon, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed two key players — starting cornerback Jason Verrett and running back Raheem Mostert — will miss Sunday’s game against the Eagles.
